{"product_id":"rainbow-and-the-worm-the-mae-wan-ho-9789812832597","title":"Rainbow and the Worm, The: The Physics of Organisms (3rd Edition)","description":"This highly unusual book began as a serious inquiry into Schringer's question, \"What is life?\", and as a celebration of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals, all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process, the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism, gaining novel insights not only into the physics, but also into \"the poetry and meaning of being alive.\"This much-enlarged third edition includes new findings on the central role of biological water in organizing living processes; it also completes the author's novel theory of the organism and its applications in ecology, physiology and brain science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mae-Wan Ho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812832599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812832597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009 pg. 51","brand":"Mae-Wan Ho","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941390876927,"sku":"9789812832597","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e3af3956-58be-4ab7-b7b7-9c69fbb6a426.jpg?v=1681452651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rainbow-and-the-worm-the-mae-wan-ho-9789812832597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
